the Messrs. Nancy very clever gentle
men.
WAS surprised to see the amount Of
business done here. Business men seem
to be busy
Hides Of different kinds are being
brought In town daily; javallna hide
have been brought and sold by larg,
wagon loads, bringing good price.
which has benefited this section greatly.
The farmers are string up the ground,
preparing TO plant. THIS is fine farming
land; any thing will grow If ii has any
kind Of cultivation. To my surprise
saw young mulberry and peach trees in
bloom; in fact trees of different kinds are
budding fast and grass has begun to
show itself. ! understand quite large
quantity OF cotton will be planted To 8
season. Last yearin some portions of the
county half bale WAS made to the acre
Judge BIVens intends 10 plant one hun
dred acres in cotton and fifty acres in
corn, besides other small grain; | hear of
other farmers going to plant extensively

to the front this year as farming coun-
ty; all she needs Is little rain and q
small decoction of elbow grease. | was
informed that good lands could be
bought for from one to three dollars per
acre. Now who wants land cheaper
than that.)
Pearsall has about twenty business
houses, b. sides several huckster shops,
two printing offices and three churches,
temperance organization with about
one hundred and fifty members, two
good schools, we'll attended. The court
house | can't say much about, only that
ii Is wooden structure; but the Jail is a
fine building, built of brick and iron; it
has not had boarder for the past two
months, which speaks well for the cOun-
ty.
The place ia we'll supplied with law
yers, seven, and a county attorney. Mr..
Mason Nancy is in the real estate bust
ness; he is also partner in law with
his father. He informs me that he has
about one hundred thousand acres of
good lands to put on the market. He is
a very clever and obliging young man,
always ready TO give you any infOrma-
ton in regard TO the town or county.
My old time friend, Judge Bivens, is
dishIng out law, besides being q planter
and a stOckrsiser. The judge is an old
Mississippian, knows little of every
thing, even railroading in Mexico.

Rgv. WILLIS. Presbyterian clergy
man Of Philadelphia, on this side the
water. and the president of the Eng
fish church temperance society on the
other eide the water, are giving cold
comfort to the prohibition fanatics.
Rev. Willis charges the failures Of tenn
perance workers on this side the water
to the unwise and untimely attacks
made upon those engaged in the liquor
traffic, as sanctioned by law, and.profes
sed himself in favor of high license as
against prohibition. The Rev. gentle
man across the water, who presides over
the church temperance society. is more
pronounced still and says as between
living in a community of prohibition
lists and community Of modern drink
ers, he would prefer the latter as most
conducive TO real temperance and TO the
abatement of the evils of excessive
drinking. This sentiment is growing,
and 1t would be well for the prohibition
lists to heed it before ii is 100 late to
profit by it.

So LONG as clergymen live, SO long
will yellow legged chickens be at
premium in the poultry market; and, SO
long as the poultry crop OF the United
States exceeds in annual value the cot
ton crop OF the country so long will 1t
pay to take care and give study to the
best methods OF raising chickens. AT
this season OF the year look out lest your
fowls get cold and you lose the advan-
tages OF the first crop Of spring broilers.
Feed cayenne pepper to keep them
warm, onions chopped fine to save from
colds, tobacco leaves in their nests to
keep away yermin, kerosine oil on their
perches to keep the roosts clean, and
feed warm, soft food in the morning. BY
so doing your spring ventures will very
likely be successful and your favorite
p 'eacher pay you many q compliment
for the quality of your yellow legged
pullets.

THE outrage mill grinds on at the
national capital and Judge Gustav
Cooks "hull against the comet" has
not prevented the testimony from being
taken. Cooks Injunction against the
national government enquiring into
Texan outrages was to be expected
from the massive intellect which fulmi-
mated Its anathema maranatha against
the Knights Of Labor last summer. His
friends have duty to perform to
society, as regards him, which they
sadly neglect.

THERE is twsng Of truth 10 the senti-
ment that the surplus should go to pay
ing the national debt. A nation In debt
should never have surplus. Still, a
debt Is not a debt in law until 1t falls
due, and Uncle Sam has no paper ma
tured and unredeemed Of which we have
knowledge. A little pocket money Is not
bad for nation to have, particularly
when the spendthrifts are in possession
OF the national treasury. The surplus
will disappear in short metre when the
democrats gain possession Of the senate.
